Hulk Hogan backs Hazard over ballboy incident

WWE Hall of Fame legend Hulk Hogan has aired his views on Wednesday’s controversial ball-boy incident insisting that Chelsea player Eden Hazard should have ‘kicked him harder’.

Eden Hazard was sent off by referee Chris Foy after it appeared that Hazard had kicked ballboy Charlie Morgan while attempting to get the ball back into play.

However, Hogan – currently in the UK as part of TNA Impact Wrestling’s Maximum Impact V – says that the 17-year-old, incidentally the son of Swansea chairman Michael Morgan, got off easy.

“The young guy on the sidelines may as well have thrown the ball into the crowd.”

“That would have been more convincing and would really have held up the action.”

“But he might have got his butt kicked even more,” said the former WCW and WWE champion.

“I don’t think [Hazard] kicked him hard enough. [Morgan] shouldn’t be interfering with play like that.”

The 59-year-old veteran went on to give his views diving in football, “I know soccer players are often accused of taking dives, but you wouldn’t get away with play acting like that in a wrestling ring.”
